Policy controller for distributed virtualization infrastructure element monitoring

A controller comprising a storage system and processing circuitry, wherein the processing circuitry has access to the storage system and is configured to:

• enable a plurality of policy agents to monitor usage metrics for each of a first plurality of compute nodes within a first compute cluster and to monitor usage metrics for each of a second plurality of compute nodes within a second compute cluster;
• receive, from the plurality of policy agents, information about the usage metrics for the first plurality of compute nodes and information about the usage metrics for the second plurality of compute nodes;
• evaluate, based on a first ruleset applied to the information about the usage metrics for the first plurality of compute nodes, infrastructure elements for the first compute cluster;
• evaluate, based on a second ruleset applied to the information about the usage metrics for the second plurality of compute nodes, infrastructure elements for the second compute cluster;
• generate health data including a first health status for the infrastructure elements for the first cluster and a second health status for the infrastructure elements for the second cluster;
• and
• output a user interface for presentation as a multi-cluster dashboard, wherein the user interface presents information about the first health status and the second health status, and wherein to output the user interface, the processing circuitry is further configured to enable presentation of a single user interface display having a plurality of graphical regions arranged within the single user interface display, wherein the single user interface display presents information about the first health status within one of the graphical regions and information about the second health status within a different one of the graphical regions.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, configure processing circuitry of a computing system to:

• enable a plurality of policy agents to monitor usage metrics for each of a first plurality of compute nodes within a first compute cluster and to monitor usage metrics for each of a second plurality of compute nodes within a second compute cluster;
• receive, from the plurality of policy agents, information about the usage metrics for the first plurality of compute nodes and information about the usage metrics for the second plurality of compute nodes;
• evaluate, based on a first ruleset applied to the information about the usage metrics for the first plurality of compute nodes, infrastructure elements for the first compute cluster;
• evaluate, based on a second ruleset applied to the information about the usage metrics for the second plurality of compute nodes, infrastructure elements for the second compute cluster;
• generate health data including a first health status for the infrastructure elements for the first cluster and a second health status for the infrastructure elements for the second cluster;
• and
• output a user interface for presentation as a multi-cluster dashboard, wherein the user interface presents information about the first health status and the second health status, and wherein to output the user interface, the processing circuitry is further configured to enable presentation of a single user interface display having a plurality of graphical regions arranged within the single user interface display, wherein the single user interface display presents information about the first health status within one of the graphical regions and information about the second health status within a different one of the graphical regions.
